Hi Ladies
Just a quick message to let you know that you can get through this... With the exception of Arimidex for the next 5 years, I've finished my treatment. It's been a tough 8 months.... but looking back I'm surprised how fast the time has flown. Chemo is 'doable'. It's tough, and everyone reacts differently... and Radiation (if you have to have it) is much easier... Just take it one day at a time and ask lots of questions...

If I can help answer any questions on what's around the corner.. feel free to message me...
